Dry-hopped with Columbus hops in our open fermenters, our IPA boasts a bright floral aroma and flavor reminiscent of pine and lemon peel. The pronounced hop bitterness is balanced by a medium-bodied caramel and biscuity malt character with a nutty finish. It showcases many subtle earthy bitter notes, rather than the resinous citrus-rind bite often featured in many American-style IPA's.

Served in the 12 oz. bottle, into a pint glass. The color is copper, with an uneven foamy white head. The smell is a grapefruit-like citrus hoppiness. The taste is a slight grapefruit hops with a maltiness that just peeks through. Mouthfeel is average. As for drinkability, could have a few of these.
Not a bad IPA from Arcadia. It's not an imperial monster, but just the nice everyday drinking type. I'd be happy to see Arcadia's beers in Western PA...someday, I hope.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours deep orange with just a hint of red, and a fluffy white head. Smells of citrus hops, but weakly. Tastes of earthy and citrus hops, nice balance with the grain. Beer is light bodied but heavily carbonated. Overall, an above average beer.

Pours a hazy dark gold with a good sized soapy head. Aroma is floral and resinous; taste has fairly significant hop bitterness followed by some bread sweetness, very plain.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy golden color with a finger and a half’s worth of white frothy head. Sly lace. The aroma had a bright citrusy hop burst over some earthy hop bitterness. Light leafy dryness with a little bit of floral to herbal character. The flavor dryly leaned towards the sweet side in a malty sort of way. Hop tones seem a bit dispersed to allow the malt base become a bit sturdier and run throughout the aftertaste. Slight malty sort of finish. The feel was almost medium bodied with a good carbonation about it. ABV felt as appropriate. Fairly smooth along my tongue. Overall, pretty nicely done English styled IPA that seemed a bit cleaner than others of it's style brewed by Americans. I'd definitely give this another try if every seen again.
